“Your want Massive Brother is a really noble one,” mentioned Cheng Ying. “I’m certain the Goddess of Mercy will bless you in order that you’ll meet Sister-in-law a lot earlier.”
Listening to his sister’s phrases, Yang Guo’s spirits rose. Instantly they went to the constructing complicated ruins, looking for some instruments like machete or axe to chop down the toxic flowers. They needed to work very slowly. Not solely there have been numerous shrubs to chop, but when not cautious, they might get pricked by the thorns. They completed slicing the shrubs after toiling for six entire days. Then they walked round the entire valley, ensuring not a single shrub was spared. It was due to their exhausting work that the world was freed from the Passionless Flowers.
Early morning the following day, Wushuang took some extra ‘Severed Gut Grass’, went to her sworn brother and mentioned, “Massive Brother, it is time so that you can take one other dose of the grass.”
After his first expertise seven days in the past, Yang Guo was not hesitant. Though the ‘Severed Gut Grass’ was toxic, it was efficient in opposition to the poison in his physique. He instantly sat down on the bottom, exerted his inner power to guard his coronary heart and liver, and rapidly ate the grass. This time the ache was not so extreme. After about an hour or so he threw up some blood and the ache lessened virtually instantly.
He stood up, stretched his legs and arms, and noticed Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang’s joyful countenance. “I’m so fortunate to have two very loving sworn sisters.” he mentioned to himself. “One is greater than sufficient, now I’ve two. How can I repay their kindness?” He regarded down, pondering exhausting. Then he thought, “Second Sister has had a superb Grasp, and I’m certain sometime she might be a superb martial artist. Not so with Third Sister.”
Having had that thought, he mentioned to Wushuang, “Third Sister, your grasp and mine have been martial sisters. That makes us individuals of the identical sect. The best stage of the Historic Tomb Sect’s martial arts was written within the ‘Jade Maiden Guide’. Li Mochou’s lifelong want was to pay money for this guide, happily she didn’t get her want proper as much as the day she died. Whereas now we have the chance, I might like to show you one or two arts from our sect. What do you say?”
Lu Wushuang was delighted, “Thanks Massive Brother,” she mentioned. “Subsequent time Guo Fu and I meet, she is not going to dare to select a battle with me.”
Yang Guo smiled faintly and instantly taught the idea of ‘Jade Maiden Guide’ to his sister, starting from the elementary to the superior. “It’s important to memorize the idea first, and in a while ask Second Sister’s assist in terms of coaching,” defined the large brother. “This quiet Passionless Valley is a really appropriate place to be taught martial arts.”
For a couple of days Wushuang used all her waking moments to memorize the idea. Since her background was additionally from the Historic Tomb Sect, she didn’t have any issue understanding the elementary classes. Very quickly nevertheless, she arrived on the harder a part of the lesson and began to have some bother understanding the idea. Yang Guo suggested her to simply memorize the idea blindly; she would ultimately perceive the entire lesson. So Wushuang spent virtually the entire month memorizing your complete ‘Jade Maiden Guide’. In the interim Yang Guo ate the ‘Severed Gut Grass’ each seven days and his ache steadily lessened.
One morning, as regular Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang ready their breakfast, after which waited for Yang Guo to return. After ready for fairly some time, Yang Guo didn’t come. They went to their large brother’s cave, solely to seek out some characters written on the bottom on the cave’s entrance. It mentioned, “To half for some time, to be collectively endlessly. Cohesion shines just like the solar and the moon.”
Each ladies have been shocked. “He … lastly he left us,” Lu Wushuang mentioned, operating towards a hill and regarded round. Cheng Ying adopted not too far behind. All they may see have been clouds on the mountain peaks. Miss Lu’s coronary heart was damaged. She requested, with an uneven voice, “Second Sister … the place … the place did he go? Can we … can we see him once more?”
“Third Sister,” her older sister replied, “Do you see these clouds? They gathered collectively, then have been blown away by the wind, to be gathered once more some place else. We’re similar to these clouds. Now we collect, then we half. Why is your coronary heart troubled?” Despite the fact that her mouth mentioned these phrases, her coronary heart was additionally stuffed with sorrow.
Yang Guo had remained on the Damaged Coronary heart Cliff for about over a month and imparted the ‘Jade Maiden Guide’ to Lu Wushuang. Throughout all this time, he didn’t discover any extra clues or information concerning the whereabouts of Xiao Longnü and knew that it might be no use to attend any longer. He gathered a bunch of the ‘Severed Gut Grass’ after which left a parting a message within the sand earlier than leaving the cliff. Nonetheless, he had nonetheless not given up hope of seeing Xiao Longnü once more, so he returned to mount Zhongnan and went again into the Historic Tomb. However after seeing that the marriage clothes have been left untouched and have been mendacity on the mattress and flooring, his coronary heart was damaged as soon as once more.
He left the mountain and roamed Jianghu for a couple of months. In the future, he discovered himself close to the town of Xiangyang. The burned wastelands that the Mongols had left was displaying indicators of human exercise and it appeared that previously months the Mongols have been as soon as once more heading south.
He missed Guo Jing, however he didn’t need to see Guo Fu and thought to himself, “It has been a very long time since I parted with Brother Eagle, why do not I’m going go to him?” He then made his solution to the wild valley.
As he neared the house of Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai [Dugu Seeking-A-Loss], he gave a protracted whistle. He walked and whistled on the identical time and never lengthy after, he heard chirrup calls from the bottom of the mountain. He raised his head and noticed the Divine Eagle under a big tree with a wolf in its claws. When the Divine Eagle noticed Yang Guo, it launched the wolf and made its solution to him. After managing to maintain its life after dealing with the jaws of loss of life, the wolf darted straight into the bushes with out turning again.
Yang Guo hugged the eagle; each man and beast have been extraordinarily blissful. They made their method again to the cave. In just some months, Yang Guo had discovered himself slipping from life to loss of life and from loss of life again to life once more, grief and pleasure each got here and went, the trials and tribulations he had gone by means of, numerous. It was a pity that the eagle couldn’t communicate; in any other case Yang Guo might inform it all of the issues which were on his thoughts.
He stayed within the valley with the eagle as his companion for months. In the future out of boredom, he made his solution to the cliff the place Dugu Qiubai buried his swords. He made his solution to the highest of the cliff and regarded on the phrases beneath the decayed wood sword:
“After the age of forty, I now not relied on weaponry. Even bushes, timber, bamboo sticks or rocks can all be my sword. From then on, I achieved nice progress and slowly reached the realm of overcoming the sword with out a sword.”
Yang Guo thought to himself, “With the heavy iron sword, it may be mentioned that I had no match underneath heaven’s skies; however from senior Dugu’s phrases, it seems that the wood sword can defeat the heavy iron sword, and at last, no sword can defeat the wood sword. Since Lengthy’er mentioned that we are going to solely have the ability to see one another once more in sixteen years time, with all these years to return, I would as properly examine the methods to defeat the heavy iron sword with the wood sword and methods to overcome a sword with out a sword.”
